Former actress and filmmaker Justine Bateman, of Family Ties and Violet fame, said the election of President Trump may be the tipping point for the “woke mob mentality” that terrorize American culture.
Speaking with The Irish Times about the state of Hollywood and the downfall of cinema, Bateman discussed a book she had written about beauty standards and how it struck a chord with people who had been chasing plastic surgery.
“People are saying perhaps that book was a tipping point – just like this election was a tipping point for the woke mob mentality momentum. Perhaps my book changed that ‘your face is broken’ momentum,'” she said.
Bateman said woke culture destroyed what once was the “you do you” attitude that governed Los Angeles.
“Los Angeles was different too. Up until eight years ago, it had that: ‘hey man, you do you’ attitude. It can be annoying but that was LA. And then we had the invasion of the hall monitors and the party-poopers and the finger pointing and people telling you what to do,” she said.

Go, Mallory!
Justine is the real deal.
Justine needs to replace that Alyssa Farah person on The View. But she’d be too good for ABC’s tastes.
You must have been a teenager at the time to experience that reaction. She was a pretty girl and was able to project a kind of sweetness through her character.
Interesting that Fox played a Reaganite on the and turned out to be a flaming liberal, while Bateman was the hippy free-spirit who is conservative in real life.
I am 46. Show ended in 1989 so I was 11. Crush I guess
Who would have thought that Mallory was the smart one and a conservative of the family.
She was fun as Superman’s Kryptonian wife in Lois and Clark, too.
My first teenage crush. Valerie bertinelli too.
Her eyes and her smile made me weak in the knees back in the day. I’m almost exactly a year younger than she is, and I was age 15-22 during the years Family Ties aired new episodes.
I’ve heard from her more than once since the election. She seems solid and I’m more than proud to have her on the RIGHT side.
Has anyone seen Justine’s X (Twitter) series in which she critiques the anti-Trump meltdown X posts? Pure comedy gold. I’d recommend them to everyone. Her speaking up has been a pleasant surprise since the election. She makes a lot of sense, unlike her hysterical anti-Trump brother.
It’s still hard to believe she turned out to be the smart one.
I used to be in Love with Mallory.
She always dressed so nice...
Perfect girlfriend
I always found it amazing that the show was on in the Reagan years and all their lead character Alex P. Keaton, the “Republican,” talked about was Nixon.
I think the word for it is “girl next door type”.
I had a big crush on Mallory. I also dated a girl who looked a lot like Meredith Baxter.
Justine Bateman, Hollywood’s answer to a question no one asked.
Absolutely a doll as Mallory. Remembering an episode where she beat Alex in an IQ test. Was that a forecast of her future politics?
Read the article. Justine Bateman is conservative and criticizes the woke culture.
